Plasma Physicist: Core-Pedestal

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Plasma Physicist to contribute to the analysis of the plasma core transport and pedestal stability of our ST40 high field spherical tokamak. The successful candidate will work on experimental characterization of edge instabilities, integrated scenario modelling, and the development of the physics basis for spherical tokamaks.

Key Responsibilities
  1. Develop and validate reduced models for the core and pedestal plasma of spherical tokamaks, including scalings and computational tools.
  2. Develop core-edge integrated modelling tools and/or carry out modelling related to the design of plasma operating scenarios for ST40 and future devices.
  3. Work with a team of physicists and engineers to experimentally characterize the core and pedestal plasma of our record-breaking ST40 tokamak.
  4. Collaborate with internal and external researchers to advance the understanding of plasma physics and its application to fusion energy.
  5. Train and mentor colleagues to develop their skills and knowledge in plasma physics and fusion research.
Requirements
  • PhD in plasma physics or closely related field.
  • Experience with relevant plasma modelling codes, such as TGLF, NEO, TGYRO, EPED, ELITE, GS2, CGYRO, STELLA, IDEALBAL, CHEASE, FreeGS, etc.
  • Proficient in modern programming languages, including C++ and Python.
  • Extensive knowledge of tokamak core plasmas, including neoclassical and turbulence transport.
  • Experience working in a research environment or developing novel technologies.
Desirable Qualifications
  • Experience in experimental scenario development and/or scenario modelling.
  • Experience with integrated modelling frameworks, such as TRANSP, ASTRA, JINTRAC, etc.
  • Familiarity with software development best practices.
  • Experimental data analysis experience.
  • Track record of scientific publications in reputable journals.
